TEHRAN – After the regime imposed a war with Iran early on June 13, the global attention shifted to Tehran and Tel Aviv.
Facing a devastating blow to the Self-Defense Forces after Tel Aviv injured more than 1,800 people, including more than 330 Iranians and scientists, the Israeli regime has activated an unprecedented censorship device.
Designed to hide the losses of the battlefield and create illusions of control, this device will fight facts and war before reaching the stages of the world.
This organized suppression, stripped of GAG orders in occupied regions to Silicon Valley algorithm censorship, creates more than a crisis of transparency.
It reveals a regime grabbed by fear that the world might witness the unravelled size on the battlefield in real time.
Silent architecture
The basis for this deception is evident in the “Rising Glion” directive issued on June 17th by Brigadier General Cobimandel Britt.
In this drastic order, reports on impact sites near military facilities that include accurate addresses of hits near strike zone drone footage or security installations are clearly considered criminals.
At the same time, the directive will prohibit mentions of interceptor launches and missile impact footage, and will even expand reaching social media posts unless prior state approval is granted.
The enforcement of these restrictions was nothing but Draconians.
On June 19, Haifa police were down to a foreign news crew recording the attacks on the city’s oil refineries and power grids and confiscated cameras, memory cards and other equipment.
Officers have been instructed to “oppose news agencies used by Al Jazeera,” a network that has already been banned in Israel since 2024.
Hidden under this veil of censorship is much more calm. In the basement of an Israeli military hospital, the ward reportedly flooded the victims.
Fars News said the scores of soldiers injured in Iran’s missile strikes are packed into underground corridors and into injuries categorized as their identity and “state secrets.”
Even Western media with well-documented pro-Israel biases have been found to be equally constrained.
The BBC has publicly admitted that it is prohibited from covering the devastation at the Weizmann Research Institute.
As Egyptian analyst Bashir Abdelfata observes, “The Rocket Strike created a Gaza-like scene in Israel, seeing more secrets and censorship than more than 1,000 victims.”
In censoring evidence of failure, the state ensures that reality itself becomes a victim of this secret campaign.
Deception Playbook
Israel supplemented its strict censorship measures with a full throttle disinformation campaign that utilizes deep doctrinal wells.
At the heart of this effort are Mossad’s own guidelines. “By deceiving wage wars by deception,” was lifted from Proverbs 24:6 and operated through specialized units such as Team Jorge.
These teams coordinated a vast trawl farm living in personas generated by AI in social networks. All of these are designed to drown out unapproved stories and shape global conversations courtesy of Israel.
One of the most obvious examples of this strategy was in the form of recycled footage aimed at showing a succession of strikes against Iran’s transporter erector launchers.
By fine-tuning contrast levels and camera angles, analysts later demonstrated that what appears to be multiple precision attacks was in fact a single hit repackaged as a wide-scale campaign.
Furthermore, Iranian analysts have noted that the administration is releasing footage of Decoy Lancher’s strike as if it were a real target.
The spin machines supported by this state are far beyond tactical video editing.
At a critical stage in the Israeli-imposed war against Iran, the X platform, previously known as Twitter, restricted the explanation of former Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif.
He had written a post calling Israeli regime Prime Minister Netanyahu “a mass co-sick,” but Iran did not start the war, which certainly ensures that it “determines how it will end.”
Zarif himself demanded that he know why his verification checkmark was removed and why his tweets were cast a shadow, claiming that “the world needs to know all the facts.”
On the parallel side, Meta reportedly handled 90,000 Israeli takedown requests in just 24 hours, purging anti-Israel content while algorithmically elevating the official Israeli military post.
At the root of these modern tactics is the ancient license to deceive.
Radical Rabbinical authorities point to the passage of Baba Metzia 23B-24A to justify lying to the “gentiles” at moments of existential danger.
This religious sanction burns today’s so-called Hazbara 2.0. It is a state-funded network of online trolls that flock critics with anti-Semitism accusations.
Additionally, Israeli companies such as Comsepto International have deployed AI bots pose as concerned citizens to shake up Western public opinion and to preempt the troublesome questions about the highly realistic human costs of these conflicts.
Israel also resorted to intentional production of battlefield “winning” through carefully coordinated media leaks amid its sweeping censorship and disinformation campaign.
Major international outlets such as Reuters, Aquios and the Wall Street Journal were given exclusive briefings by pro-Israel reporters, including 8,200 former units working within the newsroom ranks.
Iran’s success Israel is fear you see
Iran’s self-defense operations behind the power outages of enforced information systematically dismantled Israel’s long-standing image of immortality.
As of June 20, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had implemented 17 waves of True Promise III.
The subsequent waves featured fewer missiles, but showed higher accuracy and effectiveness, resulting in a higher success rate.
The most intense phase included advanced missiles that permeated Israeli multi-layered aviation prevention (arrows, David’s slings, iron domes).
For example, in Wave 16, a single Iranian missile destroys the target of Be’er Sheva, demonstrating evasive capabilities that have made Israeli interceptors effective.
Another attack struck an oil refinery in Haifa, destroying central Israel’s power grid, exacerbating economic tensions. Israeli Interceptor reportedly costs $200 million every day to operate.
IRGC spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Iman Tajik declared Israel’s airspace “completely vulnerable” and warned of an impending “economic blow.”
The precision strike against Gav-Yam Technology Park, which was initially falsely reported to have been attacked by a private hospital, wiped out the intelligence reporting agency and left the major laboratories in the process.
Meanwhile, Haifa’s port facilities caused very significant damage, they were almost inoperable, shrinking about 40% of Israel’s maritime imports and shutting down much of the country’s supply chain.
